M.2415 HAY COME UP WEDNESDAY Lampert Bill to Benefit Patent Of- fice Expected in House. ‘The Lampert bill for increases in the personnel and salaries of the United States patent office is ex- pected to come up for consideration 4n the House tomorrow, according to Representative Lampert of Wiscon- sin, “author of the bill, which was ‘unanimously reported from the patent committee six months ago. Representative Lampert said that he does mnot look for any serious opposition to the passage of this bill, ‘which provides salary increases nec- essary to forestall further resigna- tlons” which would cripple the force of ‘the patent office and also provides for forty-eight new employes and a slight-increase in patent fees. ——— Children Keep Strong Jf you.give them Father John's medi- <cine.

T —_ — This morn, alack, there was a tack, on which I placed my trilby; »such luck,” 1 said, “fills me with dread—this day a lemon will be.” Hour after hour my luck was sour, misfortunes = drove me dotty; I stubbed my toes and broke my nose against a doorpost knotty. I took a drink of dark blue ink, mistaking it for water, almed at a fly, and my aunt’'s eye received the swizzing swatter. Oh, all the fates and kin- dred skates to punish me seemed banded; I fell downstairs and broke some chairs and sofas where I landed. And every jay has known a day when all things seemed con- spiring to make him smant and break his heart and tangle all his Such days there be, and then we see what stuff a gent is made of; if he is cheap he’l wail and weep at bogies he's afraid of. But If he’s strong he'll toil along; “the jinx,” he'll say, “will vanish; tomorrow’s luck, I'll bet a buck, will all the fantods banish.” Most days are bright; they treat us right, they're days to be respected, and if one day seems bleak and gray, ‘we should not be dejected. Day after day I quit the hay, my spirits high and soaring, 1 stub no toes, 1 break no mnose, no tacks are on | the flooring. All things are good, | 1 knock on wood, and chant in high soprano; the luck is just, I do not bust the sofa or piano.
